Saturday Songs – A Foggy Day
Self-Isolation Trend #6 As you might notice from the photo it was not a foggy day, but a new trend that has developed with wearing a mask outdoors for a walk is that my glasses are constantly foggy. Luckily I could hear geese honking in the direction of this family when I arrived at the…

Stack Of New Books Can’t Be Taller Than Harper
Self-Isolation Trend #5 For businesses that are allowed to stay open during the shutdown, curbside pickup is a new trend that is helping some businesses survive during these times and to help keep employees and customers as safe as possible.

Monday Musings
Nothing feels normal right now as our state continues to shutdown more every day (universities and schools closed, sports and concerts cancelled, work at home where possible, restaurants and bars reduced to 50% capacity, Apple and Lululemon stores closed, 250 limit on gatherings and grocery stores reducing their hours). Somehow there were moments this weekend when…

No Sports Saturday
I’m very aware of the seriousness of events occurring right now, but please allow me to rant for a few seconds about the first Saturday in my lifetime without sports and an extended stoppage of play of all sports.
